"OK.  If you are convinced of your powers of persuasion, then I won't stand in the way...In fact, I like your 'can-do attitude.'  We need more faculty like you at this university.

We have an agreement!  Welcome to our university!!!

Just to sweeten the deal:

I will raise the amount that the college provides to $2,750 IF you agree to apply to that Technology Fund for funding for an additional $2,500.  You must make that decision by Feb. 1st.  If you decide not to even apply, then the college will only provide you with $2,500 for new software.  That is a $250 incentive just for writing a grant proposal!  

Here is our agreement:  

**ONE guaranteed trip to a conference each year for two years.  At each  conference you will agree to recruit and interview job candidates for our college, if there is a need.

** You also agree to spend ten hours in the summer recruiting high school seniors to our university.

**$2,500 for software to analyze data if you do NOT apply for a Technology Fund grant for an additional $2,500.  If you DO apply for $2,500 Technology Fund grant, the College of Business will provide $2,750 in software funds.

**$15,000 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**A nine-month salary at the 74th percentile

**One graduate research assistant for TWO calendar years

**Required to teach four summer sessions, none of which count toward your teaching load

**You will serve on a summer task force to re-design the core curriculum in the college of business

**Five-day-a-week teaching schedule in Fall and Spring semesters."

Critique:

This was a pretty good agreement for you:  You got a high salary and you got better than minimum for hardware and software.  Also, you got a graduate assistant for two years.

On the other hand, you have obligated yourself to a heavy teaching load and your summer will be filled with activities that may be low priority for you.  Click here to play again to see if you can get an even better deal.
